dress: new look

cardigan: dorothy perkins

shoes: topshop

Happy Tortoise Day! I'm off to collect the tortoise today and excited just doesn't cover it. I promise pictures as soon as I've got them.

A quick outfit post from a fairly dressed down day this week. I'd realised that I'd not yet worn this cardigan, which I'd been given as a birthday present (so a good few months - I ought to be ashamed!) and decided it would go quite nicely with the florals in this dress; an old New Look favourite due to the colours and the Peter Pan collar.

I really need to do something about the awful state of my hair. I'm putting it's horrid condition lately down to the amount of time I spend in the swimming pool, so I'm going to start being one of Those People, who swim in a hat. Gaah. I remember having swimming hats for lessons when we were at school, and my only memory is of the pain of catching your hair in it when you put it on - I hope they're not as bad as I remember. I probably need some product recommendations, too..?

awww happy tortoise day, i can't wait to see! :Din terms of hair products, i always like the aussie deep conditioners and use them instead of regular conditioner since i wash my hair so infrequently - they might be worth a shot? also, i don't know if you use it already, but boots do a swimmers shampoo/conditioner and leavein conditioner so it means when you wash your hair it gets all the bad stuff out, and protects it from the pool for next time. i always get them when i go on hol at least xxx

I am so jealous that you are getting a tortoise! Aussie 3 minute miracle is great and smells amazing (their leave in conditioner is also gooooood) and Boots have a coconut and almond range which is also fab (and pretty cheap too!)
